Powerful statistical software. And it's free.

SAS University Edition includes SAS Studio, Base SAS, SAS/STAT, SAS/IML, SAS/ACCESS and several time series forecasting procedures from SAS/ETS. It's the same world-class analytics software used by more than 83,000 business, government and university sites around the world, including 94 of the top 100 companies on the Fortune Global 500®. That means you'll be using the most up-to-date statistical and quantitative methods. And did we mention it's free?

Easy to access. Easy to use.

You can download and install the software yourself. There's no need to go through convoluted channels for software distribution. And a web-based development interface makes writing and submitting code easy (no, really!).

Be part of a great community.

Access to the world's best advanced statistical analysis software is only the beginning. You also get access to the online, interactive SAS Analytics U community. There, you'll find valuable resources for teaching and learning SAS. You can connect with fellow SAS users to ask questions, share ideas and best practices, collaborate on projects and get peer support. There are also great tutorials and other ways to interact with users through social media channels to help you stay connected and in the know.

Fill the skills gap.

By 2018, demand for workers skilled in analytics could outpace supply by 60 percent – or 1.5 million jobs.* Translation? Anyone with analytic prowess will be in high demand from employers around the world. What's more, a Monster.com article, "Job Skills That Lead to Bigger Paychecks," named SAS as the skill that nets the biggest paycheck. If you’re a student, learning SAS is a great way to prepare for – and secure – your future. If you’re a teacher or professor, teaching SAS is a great way to attract top students and to equip tomorrow's workers with the skills they'll need to succeed.
